Abstract
Since human pregnancy is an inefficient process, achieving desired and pleasant outcome of pregnancy - the birth of a healthy and fit baby - is the main goal in any pregnancy. Spontaneous pregnancy failure is actually the most common complication of pregnancy and Most of these pregnancy losses are not known. Animal models have been utilized widely to investigate the system of natural biological adaptation to pregnancy along with increasing our comprehension of the most important hereditary and non-hereditary factors that contribute to pregnancy disorders. We use model organisms because their complexity better reproduces the human condition. A useful animal model for the disease should be pathologically similar to the disease conditions in humans. Animal models deserve a place in research because of the ethical limitations that apply to pregnant women's experiments. The present review provides insights into the overall risk factors involved in recurrent miscarriage, recurrent implant failure and preeclampsia and animal models developed to help researchers identify the source of miscarriage and the best research and treatment strategy for women with Repeated miscarriage and implant failure.
